About Aullwood 
Marie S. Aull gave Aullwood to the Miami Valley and the National Audubon Society in 1957. It was her dream to create a beautiful wildlife sanctuary and one of the Midwest’s first nature centers. Today, more than fifty years after Marie Aull’s gift, Aullwood Audubon continues to be an enjoyable and exciting place to visit.
With over 200 acres of nature sanctuary with eight miles of trails through prairie, forests, marsh, ponds, and meadows, and agricultural grasslands, Aullwood provides experiences and activities that increase understanding and preservation of the planet through education, research, recreation, and to protect birds and the places they live today and tomorrow. During the last school year, over 120,000 visitors enjoyed Aullwood and 65,700 children discovered nature, conservation and farming through field trips, special classes or other programs through Aullwood. These 65,700 youngsters came from 14 counties, 22 public school systems and 120 schools or educational facilities.
